PARSNIP AND CARROT LATKES (VEGETABLE PANCAKES)



Parsnip and Carrot Latkes (Vegetable Pancakes) image

A new twist to a traditional Jewish dish - Serve instead of potato latkes at Chanukah, or in addition. These vegetable pancakes are beautifully colorful and very tasty. They go wonderfully with sour cream. The gluten-free rice flour mix I use is 3 cups white rice flour, 3 cups brown rice flour, 2 cups potato starch (not flour), 1 cup tapioca starch - Use just one cup of this mixture. If you can eat gluten, use just 1/2 cup of matzo meal instead.

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium russet potatoes, peeled
1 medium parsnip, peeled
1 medium carrot, peeled
1/2 cup chives, cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup canola oil
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Lemon slices, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Grate potatoes in long strips, using smooth strokes to run potatoes across the grater. Transfer to a large bowl of cold water. Use a slotted spoon to remove potatoes. Drain well and transfer to a second bowl. Reserve soaking liquid. Set reserved liquid aside for 10 minutes to allow the starch to sink to the bottom of the bowl. Carefully pour liquid from the bowl, reserving the milky residue (potato starch).
  • Using the same method as for potatoes, grate parsnip and carrot. To potatoes add parsnip, carrots, reserved potato starch, chives, egg, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a heavy nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil. Working in batches to accommodate pan size, spoon 1/4 cup of potato mixture into skillet for each pancake. Drop into oil loosely; you should be able to see oil bubbling up in between the individual strands. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Keep warm in oven. Serve hot, with sour cream and lemon slices.

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 8 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds parsnips (about 9 medium), peeled
1 small white onion (about 2 ounces)
1 large egg, beaten lightly
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts salted water to a boil and add parsnips. Return water to a boil and boil parsnips 3 minutes. Drain parsnips well. In a food processor fitted with coarse grating disk or on a hand grater, grate parsnips and onion coarsely.
  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. In a bowl, stir together parsnips, onion, and egg and stir in spices and salt. Add flour, stirring until just combined, and form mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick cakes (each about 3 inches in diameter), transferring them as formed to prepared baking sheet.
  • In a large heavy skillet heat oil and butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and saute pancakes in 2 batches until golden, about 5 minutes on each side, transferring them as cooked to paper towels to drain. Pancakes may be kept warm 15 minutes in a 200 degree oven F.

Tips:

  • Choose the right parsnips: Look for parsnips that are firm and have a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid parsnips that are soft, wrinkled, or have dark spots.
  • Peel the parsnips thinly: This will help the pancakes cook evenly.
  • Grate the parsnips finely: This will help them incorporate into the batter more easily.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes carefully: Parsnip pancakes are delicate, so be careful not to break them when flipping.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Parsnip pancakes are best when served fresh and hot.

Parsnip pancakes are a delicious and unique way to enjoy this versatile root vegetable. They are easy to make and can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
